The law of Hong Kong is based on the rule of law and the independence of the Judiciary. The constitutional framework for the legal system is provided by the Hong Kong Basic Law. Under the principle of one country, two systems , the legal framework of Hong Kong is based on the English common law, supplemented by local legislation. As a special administrative region, the Hong Kong legal system is significantly different from the legal system in mainland China. However, a small number of national laws, such as those involving national emblems and symbols, apply in Hong Kong. The separation of the Hong Kong legal system to the rest of the PRC is guaranteed constitutionally until at least 2047. The legal system in Hong Kong is therefore similar to the common law systems used in England and Wales and other Commonwealth countries. In contrast, the legal system of Mainland China is akin to those in Continental Europe and the French-speaking Canadian province of Québec (Code civil du Québec). The Hong Kong judiciary has had a long reputation for its fairness.
